Where the Fedora Project has collaborated with an external entity (such as a company cooperating with Fedora to improve hardware support, or a non-profit cooperating with Fedora to implement a new internet specification, for example) it may be mutually beneficial to provide a press release publicising that collaboration. However, inappropriate use of the Fedora Project's name in such releases may damage the project. Any press release mentioning the Fedora Project should:

* Either describe work that has been completed or is being actively developed (new software in a release or ongoing hardware enablement, eg), or make it clear that such work is planned and discuss the resources that will be allocated (developers will be made available to integrate new software in a future release, documentation will be made available to perform hardware enablement, eg)

* Ensure that quotes attributed to members of the Fedora community are sourced from people actively involved in either relevant areas of development (eg, don't quote someone working on identity management when discussing hardware enablement) or in a position of overall responsibility within the project (eg, the FPL is entitled to discuss any area of the project)

Any such press release should be forwarded to the Fedora Board for approval at least 24 hours before publication. As such releases are often time critical, in the absence of explicit disapproval from the board the FPL shall be entitled to grant approval.

Speaking about The Fedora Project

Are you arranging a convention or public speaking event? Are you a journalist that has questions about The Fedora Project? Contact the Fedora Ambassadors to find a local speaker and to arrange for Fedora to have a presence at your event.

Guidelines for Third-Party Press Releases

Where the Fedora Project has collaborated with an external entity (such as a company cooperating with Fedora to improve hardware support, or a non-profit cooperating with Fedora to implement a new internet specification, for example) it may be mutually beneficial to provide a press release publicising that collaboration. However, inappropriate use of the Fedora Project's name in such releases may damage the project. Any press release mentioning the Fedora Project should:

Either describe work that has been completed or is being actively developed (new software in a release or ongoing hardware enablement, eg), or make it clear that such work is planned and discuss the resources that will be allocated (developers will be made available to integrate new software in a future release, documentation will be made available to perform hardware enablement, eg)

Relate to an entity that is broadly aligned with the aims of the Fedora Project (is positive with respect to the goals of Free Software, does not primarily promote proprietary software, is not engaged in license violations)

Ensure that quotes attributed to members of the Fedora community are sourced from people actively involved in either relevant areas of development (eg, don't quote someone working on identity management when discussing hardware enablement) or in a position of overall responsibility within the project (eg, the FPL is entitled to discuss any area of the project)

Any such press release should be forwarded to the Fedora Board for approval at least 24 hours before publication. As such releases are often time critical, in the absence of explicit disapproval from the board the FPL shall be entitled to grant approval.

LiveUSB Review Sheets
